Are you trying to imply this is the fault of Brexit, or just generally being an ass again ?

Many companies have rules about what you can and cannot say on social media if its likely to damage the company reputation, and Im pretty sure the BBC recently said it was cracking down on this, so they had to take action.

Personally I just class him with many gobby "stars" who think just becasue they are famous they can post about politics. He should have stuck to football.
